The Walkmen - We Can’t Be Beat

This is the best thing I have listened to today, and that’s pretty crazy because I was listening to a pretty damn good Andy Bird song like right before it.

Sometimes I forget what a great band this is.

Slow, acoustic goodness with vocals and lyrics semi reminiscent of something from the 50’s or 60’s. Harmonizing background vocals. Then it takes off. Electric. Really, just a beautiful song, perfect for Monday morning listening.

The new album, Heaven, is due out May 29th.

Oberhofer - Runaway (Kanye West Cover)

Like everything else Oberhofer releases, this is brilliant. I think it’s pretty cool when bands aren’t afraid to tackle a cover song outside of their genre. Yep. Pretty cool.

“Let’s have a toast for the douchebags,
Let’s have a toast for the assholes,
Let’s have a toast for the scumbags,…..

Baby, I got a plan,…runaway as fast as you can..”

Animal Collective - Honeycomb

Well, it seems like it’s been a minute since Animal Colelctive was on my radar, and that’s kinda sad,……….. buttttt happy, happy! They’re back where they belong, making amazingness like this!

Just after a few listens, I can tell this will probably end up as one of my all time favorites. Love it. Summery. Fresh, with some kind of crazy Afrikan sound going on. Did I mention that I loved it?

Animal Collective are back with a new 7inch single titled ‘Honeycomb / Gotham’ featuring two brand new songs.

The ‘Honeycomb / Gotham’ physical 7inch is available to pre-order now on the Domino Store with instant MP3 gratification of both tracks. Pre-order at http://www.dominorecordco.com/honeycomb.
